Grid or frame position pattern (CYCLE801)

Function
● You can use the "Grid position pattern" function (CYCLE801) to program any number of
positions that are spaced at an equal distance along one or several parallel lines.
If you want to program a rhombus-shaped grid, enter angle αX or αY.
● Frame
You can use the "Frame position pattern" function (CYCLE801) to program any number of
positions that are spaced at an equal distance on a frame. The spacing may be different
on both axes.
If you want to program a rhombus-shaped frame, enter angle αX or αY.
